Hi there! Welcome to my website, here you will find a warm welcome, some interesting thoughts, academic musings, and inspirational little tales centred around character, character strengths, and character traits. I encourage you to take part, share posts, leave comments, and follow me on social media (see links above), I love to hear other peoples stories and ideas.

A little about me: I was a Paralympic swimmer for Australia, having swum at two Paralympic games, I walked away with 3 Paralympic medals and a drive to help other people thrive in their own lives. I then attended university in Australia, achieving 1st Class Honours in my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and a Master of Philosophy (Fine Art) degree. The next part of my journey involved moving to the UK (where I have now lived for 8 years), once in the UK I pursued a speaking career, focusing on schools. My speaking career has evolved, as I have learnt and grown into myself and my own story as a speaker, I now run a character education programme called RWS | Resilience Wellbeing Success. Through this programme we aim to help pupils thrive in all aspects of their lives; the programme is a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to resilience and wellbeing, and includes fun activities that engage and motivate. I am now also studying for a Masters in Character Education, which informs not just RWS, but also my own speaking and wider life experience.

This blog is currently focused on my 2017 Character Challenge, each month has a theme, and each blog post will explore the theme for that month. If you are interested further about the character challenge pop me an email (click the little envelope icon above or below). There will also be other little posts of interest along the way, ones that link to character in some way.
